Section titled “In 30 seconds”

Every hour of research and admin is an hour you’re not in front of a prospect. Call prep, pipeline analysis, outreach drafting, win/loss reviews. Necessary, but none of it is selling. Claude with the Sales plugin compresses that work from an hour per meeting to five minutes. Connect your CRM and it works with live pipeline data.
